Who's got the best alibi?

Fill in the worksheet:

How did the murder happen? 

Were you there or somewhere else?

What is your alibi!? 

(Be creative ;-) ) 

In groups of 4:

• Ask the others in the group about where they were and accuse eachother of being the murderer. 

the second student must come up with an alibi!

• Each question should start with ‘When I saw you…’ 

For example:  ‘When I saw you, you were getting rid of the evidence’. The second student might answer, ‘No, I was wrapping up a present for my grandma.
